Extinction

Aliisza's eyes lingered on Pharaun who was dressed elegantly, as always, and with that lovely long white hair. She was glad to have found him again, but her timing seemed to have been off. From the snatches of argument that drifted up to Aliisza's perch on the cliff it seemed the group of drow would soon be departing?though there was apparently some question about how many of them would make the journey. Someone?or something?had to be fed first. . Ah. That was it.

"That's a ship of chaos," Aliisza said, proud of herself, then thought, Now that is a detail Kaanyr will want to know.

"Where do you plan to sail it to, my dear Pharaun?" Aliisza mused. "The Abyss?" She laughed and tossed her curly black hair.

"Surely you'd rather stay here and spend some time with me than visit that nasty goddess of yours. I, at least, am alive.. and responsive to your prayers."

Chuckling, she decided to delay her report to Kaanyr Vhok?who was all too busy with that dreary siege of his, anyway. Instead she'd stay in the Lake of Shadows and have some fun.

Pleasure, she mused, should come before business.

Always.
